The flood was
a huge disaster for us, but things
did get better. Our neighbors Daphne and David let us stay
with them while the floors and walls were replaced. David
acted as our general contractor by coordinating painters, tile
people, electricians, and plumbers. With David's help it
only took seven weeks to get
the house back in shape. We felt very lucky to get back so quickly,
with a limited number contractors in Houston, many people only
getting started rebuilding after 7 weeks.
We made a few
changes to the house when we rebuilt, we replaced our wood floors
and linolium with ceramic tile, our brown pile carpet with off white
berber carpet. We also felt fortunate that our Dog and
Cat (Resha and Ribs) were at Paws,
our favorite kennel during and after the flood.

There was between one and two inches of
water through out the house.
This is the view we had when we returned after the flood. The
picture doesn't do it credit.
We were terribly lucky to have our neighbor, David, coordinate
contractors. In a couple weeks we had taken out the bottom two
feet of sheet rock, and all the flooring in the house.
